Buy a good quality fish oil such as EyeQ from Boots. It’s the EPA and DHA in the fish oil that really helps neurological development in infants. Foods that are particularly good to eat due to the good fat content include oily fish (of course!) (but avoid tuna due to the mercury content), avocados, eggs and coconut oil.

Vitamin B complex are important for brain development so peas and other legumes are important but be careful B vitamins are water soluble so steam the veg not boil. (or alternatively take multivitamins). Check with your doctor or health visitor though.

The omega oils 3,6 and nine. These are very important for brain development and are found in oily fish, flax seed and also as “food supplements”. This is why cod liver oil was given in times of rationing to new mums.
